This book was the winner of the 2005 Jacqueline A. Ross
Dissertation Award for second or foreign language testing. The
assessment of speaking skills is an important part of the language
learning process, whether carried out by teachers in the classroom
or through proficiency tests administered by testing agencies.
However, the complex and subjective nature of speaking assessment
raises a number of important questions about the validity,
reliability and fairness of test procedures. This book, which is
based on research into the speaking test of the International
English Language Testing System (IELTS), shows how the performance
of learners in oral proficiency interviews cannot be taken
unequivocally as an indication of their ability, as variation in
interviewer behaviour can have an impact both on learner
performance and on ratings outcomes.
